Overview

History & significance

Water meadow 400m east of Clattinger Farm is a post-medieval agricultural monument located in Wiltshire. The site represents the engineered management of water and grassland typical of early modern farming practice, when landowners developed systems of channels and embankments to improve meadow productivity through controlled flooding. Water meadows of this type became widespread across southern England from the sixteenth century onwards, allowing farmers to extend the growing season and increase hay yields by regulating water temperature and nutrient deposition. The Clattinger Farm example survives as an archaeological record of this important phase in English agricultural history and landscape modification.
